Orthodromic and antidromic nerve conduction velocities were determined in sensory median nerve fibres from digit to palm and from palm to wrist in patients with the carpal tunnel syndrome. In a large number of subjects the carpal tunnel syndrome could be detected only when the palm-to-wrist segment
Correction factors exist to allow for the dramatic effect that temperature has on nerve conduction study parameters. However, these are based on normal nerves in normal individuals and may not be appropriate in the diseased nerve setting. Our clinical study showed that in carpal tunnel syndrome, the
A variety of electrophysiological studies have been reported to increase the diagnostic sensitivity in the carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), ',' including latency measurements to the second lumbrical (2~)3,4,12,18 and to the second dorsal interosseous (2DI). We attempted to determine the value of the in
